God, the creator of the universe, time and again sends some divine souls to act as messengers for him and through their leadership, actions, great works and endeavours undertake the mantle of custodians imperative for a progressive society, so that we can be special beneficiaries and reap the harvest of their hard-work and labour in the years ahead. One such divine soul was Shri. Bhuvnesh Chaturvedi who was born on the 2nd of May 1928 in Mainpuri Uttar Pradesh, in a modest family. He completed his Post Graduationin Economics from Herbert’s College, Kota and further pursued his professional degrees in law & journalism to become a renowned advocate.
As a student he was actively involved in youth movements. Subsequently, he entered into politics after contesting Presidential elections of Students Union of Government College Kota, and was elected the President of NSUI for the term 1953-56, after which he started his legislative career with the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly, where he was a member, and further represented Rajasthan in the Rajya Sabha for three terms.
He also held office from 1993 to 1996 as a Union Minister of State for the Prime Minister's Office, under the then Prime Minister Late. P.V. Narasimha Rao and simultaneously undertook responsibility as the Minister for Science and Technology and played a vital role as an advisor in the Ministry of Defence and Foreign Affairs. During his tenure in the PMO he gave his valuable contribution in the field of Space, Nuclear Energy and Science and Technology.
Shri Bhuvnesh Chaturvedi ji was a man of great character and integrity who even after occupying high and dignified positions in society was always very humble, simple, down to earth and eager for the upliftment of the poor in society. He was a leader who was committed to the well-being of the people and served the country with distinction and was a great visionary with a deep insight and a strong believer that the foundation stone for every successful and civilised society was deeply embedded into the educational system.
Thus, he founded the Bal Hitkari Samiti in 1957 in order to execute his creative insights with an aim to provide education for all sections of society. He was instrumental in putting his ideology into practice by establishing two schools at Kota, Bhuvnesh Bal Mandir and Bhuvnesh Bal Vidyalaya in the years 1953- 54 and 1974-75 respectively, with the main motto "Rashtra Sarvopari – The Nation First ".
His vision of setting up educational institutions was to create a safe and supporting learning environment, while upholding high standards of academic & personal conduct for the underprivileged and marginalised children belonging to the weaker sections of the society. Today, Bhuvnesh Bal Vidyalaya has proudly completed 50 Glorious years in the field of education and is one of the pioneer institutions of Kota city, which is reminiscent and stands testimony to the vision of this towering personality whose dream was to churn out many young turks in the years ahead who would one day be the torch bearers to lead our nation forward on the path of progress and success. After successfully completing his mission towards education he left behind a great legacy which all of us need to carry forward so that our society becomes a better place to live in.
